R1-billion investment in SA ICT infrastructure

In its largest infrastructure build project to date, Africa’s only neutral data centre provider has announced that it will be expanding the Teraco Isando Campus (JB1). Increased demand for additional data centre capacity is being driven by cloud uptake and enterprise organisations wanting to access the Teraco platform. The expansion will occur in two phases. Phase 1, currently underway, will grow the facility by 2000 cabinets bringing the total JB1 Campus capacity to 50 000. Total usable floor space will increase by 4000 m2, expanding to a total of 12 000 m2 across the data centre campus. The anticipated ready for service date is in Q3 2019. A total of 60 MW of power will be reticulated to the site addressing requirements for further expansion after Phase 1 has been completed. The total power available to the Isando Campus will now reach 80 MW.
